Daily perusal of the department of
territorial news will bring to notice
decided disposition among the commits
Hioners of various Dakota counties to
prohibit or circumscr,be the sale OF in
t0xlGants. In. many counties where
prohibition has not heretofore assumed
the dimensions of an issne it has this
year been brought prominently to the
front in tho deliberations OF county
boards and definitely passed upon. AS
a result counties IN which intoxicants
have heretofore been sold have refused
licenses and in almost all the counties
where license has been granted the price
has been increased. Action by the
county boards IN these cases is based
upon what is known as the Langless
local option law. an enactment passed
by the legislature in 1879, which gives
to county boards authority to grant
license or to refuse license, as majority
of a board shall determine, and to place
the price Of permit to sell as high as
i've hundred dollars per year and nc
lower than two hundred dollars per year,
This local option law is quietly pro-
dncing an effect unlocked for in Dakota.
It enables communities to regulate the
liquos traffic and to prohibit it if the
adverse sentiment is strong enough
That 1t is growing in popularity is indi-
Gated by the acts of numerous county
boards for the current year.

a meeting OF the Indian rights assooi.


A meeting OF the Indian rights assooi-
alton is now in progress in Washington,
its purpose being to urge the passage OF
the Dawes Sioux reservation bill. a
delegation from Pierre is also at Wash
inRton having tho same object in view
and Hon. Barney Uaufield, of Deadwood
is adding to the move the weight OF his
influence. There appears to be fair
prospect for the passage of the Dawes
bill. 1t is not ell that could be wished
for IN behalf of white settlement, but ID
a stop in the direction Of the opening Of
the great reservation. The discouragine
feature of the measure is the clause il
contains requiring the signatures Of
three-iourths Of the male adult Siou1
before it can become law.

+. In referring to offices within the gift
OF the governor OF Dakota the Press and
Dakataian did not include the various
boards for the management Of charitable,
penal and eduoational institutions. So
far as these positions are concerned they
are positions of honor more than of
emolument and it has been a custom Of
the past to consider them as non-partisan
in their character. The. propriety Of
appointing democrats upon these boards
has always been recognized by repub-
lican administrations and we do not
recommend any innovation upon the
habits OF the past. We address ourselves
directly to territorial Offices proper IN
our declarations relative TO gubarna-
torial appointments.

In the river and harbor appropriation

In the river and harbor appropriation
bill. inst reported from, The hoass com
mitsee, are the following items for the
improvement of the Missouri river:
Mouth to Sioux City. $3.50, 900; sioux
City to Fort Benton, 5000; removing
distractions. $1,000; survey end e1-
aminations, $30, 600.
II this appropriation is in the usual
form it omits entirety that portion OF
the river flowing through Dakota. The
habit hes been to provide appropria-,
tions applicable from the mouth Of the
Missouri to the Big Sioux and from the
mouth Of the Yellowstone to the head
of navigation on the Missouri. Dakota
has for years been jumped over in this
bill, because Dakota has no vote in
congress.

A special telegram to the s.. Paul
Pioneer Press, bearing date at Canton,
Dakota, says:
A quiet but determined move is on
foot to repeal the old capital commls-
sion act and return the seat C: govern
ment to Yankton. This will not be done
till along toward the last OF the legisla-
tive session, when it can be more easily
determined what congress intends to do
with the division question. This section
will radically favor the capital removal
should congress refuse to divide the
territory within the next forty days.

1t may be that the ptess of Dakota is
expected to congratulate iiie people Of
Dakota over the prospective a eivAi OF
another immigrant from the state OF
New York. He is even now packing his
grip end as soon IS his extradltion
papers are arranged by the president
and the senate he will turn his nose
towards the setting sun and will halt not
until he finds himself inside the circle
Of the electric glare which lights the way
into Hnron. The people of that exu-
berant burg will be at the depot to
meet this latest recipient OF presidential
honors and before he is out OF the car
Judge Spencer will be made to believe
that while Dakota has managed to get
|along without him it never experienced
the full measure Of prosperous happiness
until he was named for judicial place
There will be speeches to that effect.
This is the western way. 1t costs noth--
ing and makes the migratory democrat
feel comfortable. We are pleased tc
observe that Mr.. Cleveland Is drawing
somewhat heavily upon New York. Il
he keeps on the alight democratic ma.
iority OF that state will be swallowed up
in the distranchised mass OF Dakota re.
publicanism thrown away and entirely
lost. 1t is therefore an undonbted act
of political propriety for the Press and
Dakotaian to congratulate the people o.
Dakota over this appointment. There il
no objection that we know of to an oc
cAsional mugwump.

The Alleged Races at spearfish.

According to reports from eye witness
es, who had no interest in the affair
beyond fair play, the races last week at
Spearash were the worst that ever took
place in the country. 1t required two
days to get even starter and then the
Judges called it an s'off race to prevent
the Spearfish men and their friends
from losing several hundred dollars.
The matter came about in this way :
Friday afternoon four horses entered
the 600 yards race for the best two in
three. Two of the aaimals were Chico
Bill and Black Ned from Sturgis. In
the first heat Chico Bill fell behind some
fifty yards, and Black Ned came out
ahead. In the second Black Ned failed
TO keep up, the other three passing the
wire evenly. This sent The other two
horses to the barn, leaving both Sturgis
horses on the ground for the last heat.
They ran, Black Ned coming out first
best and of course was entitled to the
money. But as soon as the Spearfsh
crowd had lost their money when their
horses were sent to the barn, the judges
were induced by aome means, fair Of
foll, to declare the whole thing off.
One Of the judges, however, said the
race was fair through out, and was will
ing to give just aad impartial decision,
but be was unable to prevent the others
for pursuing the uajust course they did
in calling the race of. If the Spearfsh
men can not give up their money when
they bet and lose honestly, they should
quit sporting, or get some good running
stock.
The time is said to have been the best
ever made on Hills track first, 351;
second, So: third, 31ss.
